Studio Jams #1 - "I Wish"

[@NickGibbsmusic]

There’s that proof. Funk is all in the dynamics. Energy is not shown through volume, but dynamics and rhythm.

[@troubleboy]

In words of a wise man: it's so funky and it's low volume

[@friesiamans1966]

the universe works well, haha... i just come from a marcus miller power hard slapping bass session and i thought: it´s impressive, but somehow strainy to watch and listen to - it makes me sad, when music is all about power and being "better than so and so" and then i switched to this sweet humble session and read your very words - yesssss... btw. i have been playing reggae for a long time and there the musicians don´t play much, but they play in a sort of jigsaw puzzle in which the single parts don´t make much sense, but put together in the right order they make a beautiful picture... :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWaamnuBqLeDgKs another btw. in my young days i used to dance like crazy to the original of this song here whenever they played it at our local disco, haha, sweet memories... :-) thank you my friend, love and greetings from germany

[@bigkahuna5445]

Hey Nick you get the comment of the year award Bro! Prefect for this Video!!!

[@friesiamans1966]

@@bigkahuna5445 hey bro, i´ve been into reggae music since i saw bob marley live in 78 (brag around, haha) - what i want to say: i had heard him on the radio before and, yes, i liked him somehow, but i was not prepaired to watch him and his band, plus the i-threes in person from some 20 meters on an open air, it literally shocked me... :-) i am a musician myself - i had started with blues rock in the early 70s and went into slightly jazzy, spacy stuff during the 70s - it was then mostly about brilliant virtuosity a.s.o. - reggae taught me something different: humbleness! every single musician plays a little part and all that fits together like a jigsaw puzzle - the same goes for funk or african music - here in germany we were lucky to have a wave of african music, bands that came over here to perform and i saw many of them and was never disapointed - the nigerian giant king sunny adé had opened a door with his appearance on german tv... this is what i´m looking for since then: inner power, shown through "dynamics and rhythm", like nick says here - that´s why i liked this session here immediately - solid musicanship working together in humbleness... :-) there is a series called tiny desk where the musicians appear live in an intimate atmosphere in an office with small audience (hence the title) - i like it a lot, it´s well hosted and recorded - example... kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6O1kJqja7ekedE ah boy, there is so much sweet music out there (and in here, haha) - i love youtube for giving us access worldwide and to share our love for that - one love as bob marley once put it! greetings from germany

[@bigkahuna5445]

Wow Bro,so we are passionate about This Thing Call Music!!!! I'm a Bass Player and when the Groove is happening there is no Other Feeling. From your response you understand. Thanks for link those boys were feeling that Gig for sure! Keep that Groove Going in Germany and Keep go in California.

Pocket's so damned deep, after this groove, all that's left is lint and pre-war change!!

[@rallokkcaz]

John Peterie the shit pocket.

[@nou_en]

You cant groove if you aint got a pockett 😅👍🏻👍🏻

[@connorcoyle6592]

I'm trying to pay my bus fair, but I can't find my change with such a deep pocket - god damnit.

[@EvilSean62]

i cant play today , dislocated my shoulders tyrying to reach the pocket depth ... i can just reach the shoulder dr oop

[@catboyzee]

Love the discipline and restraint of Roy 'Futureman' Wooten on the drums, and Victor Wooten on bass. They have the chops to go nuts, but instead they keep it inside. It just heightens the tension and keeps things on the edge. Me with my ugly face...

[@timcardona9962]

Why would anybody "go nuts" on a funk tune, especially bass and drums?

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Tim Cardona Virtuoso musicians tend to overdo it, particularly Victor Wooten. I was very glad to see them all play like reasonable people, it makes for better music.

[@papabroly8000]

@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney That's not necessarily the case. Certain people appreciate different genres and therefore different ways of musical expression. I myself am a technical death metal fan (don't ask how I even ended up here lol), so I appreciate musicians "overdoing it" more so than those that exhibit more laid back playing. It's not objectively "better" music, it's just the majority's favorite play style; I won't pretend I hold the popular opinion or anything, don't worry.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Papa Broly Well, fair enough. Fans of the style they just played, however, almost exclusively prefer that the players stay in the pocket and solo to support the song, not to show off blinding speed while not really staying in the groove.

[@papabroly8000]

@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney Yeah, I understand that. I'm always looking for instrumentalists to go off on an unexpected tangent to be perfectly honest. It just mixes things up and thereby makes the song more interesting to me. But I totally see what you mean.

[@KrausKeysGuitar]

Wow Derek Trucks, Joey DeFrancesco, Victor Wooten and Jeff Coffin in one song together...

[@BrianMassa]

and Tuck!!!!! Nutty!!!!!

I mean he is the thumbnail

[@rebuttalc2075]

Actually Derek brought me here but sure am glad I found it

[@coajrmusic]

I'm glad Vic brought his partner in crime, Mr. Coffin. Time to listen to some Bela now to get the full effect...

[@m1garandisthebest]

Joey Defrancesco was always killin it so hard haha

[@gerardguitarist]

Derek Trucks maturity and composure is just staggering. Doesn't overplay, just does his job like a pro in an ensemble...

[@stumplifter]

How did this ensemble of musicians escape my radar for 2 decades?! 🤯

[@F20ization]

Hhhhhhhh

[@benjaminnormal9968]

Never heard anyone creep the song like this, love it

[@jamesowens4238]

This set is a very good lesson on pocket playing.

[@gracesantos5238]

Someone gotta thank or give Victor Wooten one of these days. Most just steal his licks without acknowledging this legend.

[@douglasellison5147]

most drummers would go crazy on this but a good one wont.

[@axeman2638]

Love the touch and restraint of the drummer in this.

[@napakamu9670]

exactly

[@espencer83]

Douglas Ellison yes sr

[@jorymil]

It's really cool to see Future Man playing a regular kit here, rather than the Synth-Axe Drumitar that he plays with the Flecktones.

[@kennyproulx4690]

It's what you don't play is what's important

[@teletdf]

Never in my life would I have expected this ensemble and I am lucky to have lived to see it.

[@Weissherz]

victor is killing again.. he is like rhythm biscuit for my ears

[@Fo0O0oTBall]

What, pray tell, is a rhythm biscuit?

[@ripztubig4457]

Biscuits that are consumed by the ears

[@catboyzee]

Rhythm biscuit, I'm taking that excellent descriptor. Thanks.

Trucks and Wooten on the same song is like a dream come true

[@retohofmann5878]

A very young Derek Truck...nice! What a cool version of this classic!

[@freddycus5167]

Wow! Gave me goosebumps..

[@rakiest]

oh shit!!! I used to record these on VHS when I was a kid. I still remember Oteil Burbridge playing butter biscuit.. Sadly one day I was at school and my parents didn't know I was saving all the videos and recorded over it. I looked forever, glad to see these can be found on youtube.

[@Jonathan-dj5ry]

Already miss Joey. Rest in peace, master.

[@christianmullins7862]

❤️❤️RIP Joey DeFrancesco and Kofi Burbridge ❤️❤️

[@ursafan40]

The amount of raw talent in that studio............. wow First I've ever seen Futureman play a kit!

[@texasbass1961]

Knowing when to play, and what to play, at the proper time.... is the key. Listen, feel it... communicate with your other players - musically, and visually. It's magic when the pieces of the puzzle come together. Everybody doing their part, tastefully.

[@SQUIRTGANG]

This track literally has one of the best, if not THE best organ solo I've ever heard in my life

[@kristofkocsis9716]

That SG is alive

[@literatetree8394]

Kristóf Kocsis so is the player!

[@portcherish]

I wish these guys could play together once more

[@3340steve]

Thank you for the excellent music. So refreshing to hear Tuck Andress play guitar here.

[@BudoReflex]

Something for everyone. Those guitar lines are so lyrical and sweet and the depth of restraint is luscious. If i could experience the rest of life lost in this version, heaven is redundant.

[@stanakazam]

[@burtonrivera5253]

The eclectic library. Thank you.

[@MistyBluesBand]

Tuck, Derek & Victor … so good ♥️🎶

[@solarfly_]

Victor Wooten always has this expression of joy on his face when he's playing. I'm working so hard just trying to stay in the pocket and not mess up the notes, when will my face get that automatic smile? When I know I nailed a tune or a lick. That's the work part. But the playing part on stage, that's the smile for me, man

[@GoldenBoyDims]

Lol just stop caring man

[@davidartreides3932]

Tuck Andres, the epitome of cool. Oh man, all of them!

[@lasdudas9210]

DADAAAAMMMNN. That was the sweetest studio jam I have seen so far.

[@geoffbeyer1873]

This was a pretty bloody epic line up of musos! The musicianship in this tune was beautiful to watch and listen to. The dynamics and emotional control of each musician was art in motion.

[@iBharat108]

[@marktheshark27]

Dream band. All astonishing in their own right. And, with their respective home bands. The last time we saw stuck snd Patti they were warm and gracious. We talked a little bit and Tuck asked me if I played. I said well some people would call it that and he handed me his guitar and told me to sit down and have some fun
